Special Covid testing rules for people traveling from China and its administrative areas, which were put in place on January 5 during a big outbreak of cases in China, were officially rescinded.
People who want to fly from China to the U.S. will have an easier time of it starting Friday. Special Covid testing rules for people traveling from China and its administrative areas, which were put in place on January 5 during a big outbreak of cases in China, were officially rescinded at 3 p.m. ET Friday, according to a news release from the US Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. A source had told CNN earlier this week that the CDC order was expected to be dropped as soon as Friday.
The CDC said in its Friday news release that the order was put in place because of “concerns that Covid-19 cases were surging in the [People’s Republic of China]. “At that time, mitigation measures were largely not known to be in use in the PRC, and there were significant gaps in data and information on cases, hospitalizations and deaths.” Why has the order been lifted now? The CDC said it now has more confidence things have gotten better in China.
